Brain difference in psychopaths identified
Professor Declan Murphy and colleagues Dr Michael Craig and Dr Marco Catani from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have found differences in the brain which may provide a biological explanation for psychopathy. The results of their study are outlined in the paper Altered connections on the road to psychopathy, published in Molecular Psychiatry.

Earliest animals lived in a lake environment, research shows
A UC Riverside-led team of researchers studying ancient rock samples in South China has found that the first animal fossils in the paleontological record are preserved in ancient lake deposits, not marine sediments as commonly assumed. The research gives scientists a glimpse into where some of the early animals lived and what the environmental conditions were like for them -- important information for addressing the broader questions of how and why animals appeared when they did.

Chronic stress makes rats creatures of habit
Stressed out? Stuck in a rut? It might not be a coincidence if you feel both ways. A new study on rats suggests that chronic stress affects the brain's neural connections, leading the animals to make rote decisions out of habit rather than on a case-by-case basis, researchers report in the July 31 issue of Science.

Fighting to save the world's fisheries
July 31 issue of Science reports that researchers say that there is still hope for saving the world's fisheries from collapse -- if we implement a combination of traditional approaches, such as catch quotas and community management, along with additional measures, such as strategically placed fishing closures, gear restrictions, ocean zoning, and economic incentives.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis may pose neurological risks
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has helped many couples conceive healthy children and is generally considered a safe practice. However, a new long-term analysis of PGD in mice suggests that this procedure may increase risks of weight gain and memory decline in adulthood.

Bad mitochondria may actually be good for you
Mice with a defective mitochondrial protein called MCLK1 produce elevated amounts of reactive oxygen when young; that should spell disaster, yet according to a study in this week's JBC these mice actually age at a slower rate and live longer than normal mice.

Virtual three dimensions reconstruction of human marks on the surface of animal fossils
In the paper published on Chinese Science Bulletin vol. 54, no.12 , researchers analyzed human marks on the surface of animal fossils through three dimensions reconstruction and isoline analysis. This is the first to use virtual three dimensions reconstruction in studying the human marks on the surface of animal fossils in China.

In vitro antibody production enables HIV infection detection in window period -- key to safer blood
Researchers in Israel and Kenya have shown that the contribution of variable degrees of immune suppression, either due to existing chronic infections such as parasitemias and/or nutrition, in different populations may influence and prolong the serological-diagnostic window period of HIV. However, the immunosuppression can be overcome, by in-vitro enhancement of antibody production (termed- Stimmunology).
